3rd Grade Science

Investigating ecosystems, matter, and energy through hands-on experiments and observations.

Practical Applications

Simple Experiments with Matter

Try These Matter Experiments

Learning about matter is fun when you do it hands-on!

Melting Race

Put an ice cube in different places (like the sun and the shade). Which melts first?

Dancing Raisins

Drop raisins into a cup of soda. Watch them move up and down as bubbles stick to them!

Try more experiments with things you find at home, and see how matter changes.

Examples

  • Comparing how fast ice melts in warm and cool spots.

  • Making raisins dance in sparkling water.
